Final answer:

Amanda needs to cook her turkey for an additional 65 minutes. She has already cooked it for 25 minutes, and the recipe calls for 1 1/2 hours of cooking time, which is 90 minutes in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question about how many more minutes Amanda needs to cook her turkey falls under mathematics, dealing specifically with time calculations. Amanda's recipe indicates that the turkey should cook for 1 1/2 hours, which equals 90 minutes (since 1 hour is 60 minutes plus half an hour which is 30 minutes). Amanda has already cooked the turkey for 25 minutes. To find out how many more minutes are needed, we subtract the time the turkey has already been in the oven from the total cooking time required by the recipe.



The calculation is:



  • Total cooking time: 90 minutes
  • Time already cooked: 25 minutes
  • Time remaining: 90 minutes - 25 minutes = 65 minutes



Therefore, Amanda needs to cook the turkey for an additional 65 minutes to meet the recipe's requirements.
